Unlike previous versions of Windows, they are not just icons to start applications. Now you can also provide status from your application through Live Tiles even when your application is running in the background. The Live Tiles feature works not only for Metropolis UI application but also for any types of VCL / FireMonkey applications as long as these applications are running on Windows 8.

Designing Application using TLiveTile component

To provide updates to your Live Tile, you can simply provide the latest information from your application to the TLiveTile component, and then call “UpdateTile”.

This update contains all our documentation effort since we released RAD Studio approximately 2 months ago.

As a new manager for documentation team, I am working with the team to define a series of action items to improve our help.

I firmly believe that documentation is one of the most critical parts in this product. As part of our commitment, we plan to release a series of help updates as we have done in the previous release, except in even higher frequency.

Previously, I worked at Tokyo office at technical support & marketing department, and I moved to here in Scotts Valley 3 years ago.

Well, blogging, it’s a new challenge for me. I’ll use this blogging opportunity to talk about localization related things in general, and provide some updates about localized editions.
